Your Phil Hellmuth Update

We walked over to the secondary featured table to check on Phil Hellmuth, and we caught three consecutive hands with him involved.

On the first hand, Hellmuth limped in under the gun, and the player to his left raised to 1,000. One more player plus Hellmuth called to see a three-handed flop. It came {10-Hearts} {5-Spades} {9-Hearts}. Hellmuth and the other caller would fold to a bet of 2,100 from the raiser. Hellmuth flashed {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} as he mucked. Not too exciting.

Hellmuth 34,000

*****

On the next hand, Hellmuth called a preflop raise and the flop came {6-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {K-Clubs}. Hellmuth check-called a bet of 1,100, and the turn brought the {9-Diamonds}. Hellmuth checked again, then insta-called when his opponent bet 3,600. Both men checked when the {7-Spades} hit the river, and Hellmuth showed the winning {K-Spades} {10-Spades}.

Hellmuth - 40,000

*****

On the third hand, a player under the gun limped in, and Hellmuth made a healthy raise to 2,200 from the small blind. That was enough to fold everyone out and win him the small pot.

He's got 41,000 now.
